  • PEARLAGENT GM 4055 is used as opacifier with light gloss giving effect in cosmetics such as hair shampoos, bath preparations etc. PEARLAGENT GM 4055 is added at normal temperature before the product is diluted with water to its final concentration.
  • The application quantity amounts up to 10 % according to the desired effect. The stability of the gloss depends on a sufficient viscosity of the final product which can be achieved for example by addition of sodium chloride, OXETAL VD 20, OXETAL VD 92 or fatty acid alkanolamide (PURTON).
  • PEARLAGENT GM 4055 normally does not require a special density of the basic formulation.
